"A land at the top of a tree!" said Connie. "I don't believe a word of it."

Jo, Bessie, and Fanny are fed up when Connie comes to stay - she's so stuck-up and bossy. But they don't let her stop them from having fun with their tree-friends, Silky, Moon-Face, and the Saucepan Man.

Together, they climb through the cloud at the top of the Faraway Tree and visit the wonderful places there, the Land of Secrets and the Land of Treats - and Connie learns to behave herself!

Pauline, Petrova, and Posy are orphans determined to help out their family by attending the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. But when they vow to make a name for themselves, they have no idea it's going to be such hard work!

They launch themselves into the world of show business, complete with working papers, the glare of the spotlight, and practice, practice, practice!

Pauline is destined for the movies. Posy is a born dancer. But practical Petrova finds she'd rather pilot a plane than perform a pirouette. Each girl must find the courage to follow her dream.
